Introduction
JMeter is a software that can perform load test, performance test,
regression test ,stress test etc.. On the different protocols and the
technology,
🠶 JMeter is an Open Source testing software.
🠶 It is 100% pure Java application for load and performance testing.
🠶 JMeter is designed to cover categories of tests like load, functional,
performance, regression, etc.
History
🠶 Stefano Mazzocchi of the Apache Software Foundation was the
original developer of JMeter. He wrote it primarily to test the
performance of Apache JServ (now called as Apache Tomcat project).
Apache later redesigned JMeter to enhance the GUI and to add
functional testing capabilities.
Protocols
The following protocols are supported by JMeter,
🠶 Web - HTTP, HTTPS
🠶 Web services - SOAP / REST
🠶 FTP services
🠶 Database via JDBC drivers
🠶 Directory - LDAP
🠶 Message-oriented middleware (MOM) via JMS
🠶 Mail - SMTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S)
🠶 Native commands or shell scripts
🠶 TCP
Features
Followings are some of the feature of
JMeter;
🠶 Multithreading Framework 🠶 Result Analysis and Caches
🠶 Compatible with TCP 🠶 Compatible with Native Commands
🠶 100% Java scripted 🠶 Highly Extensible Core
🠶 Compatible with LDAP 🠶 Compatible with FTP
🠶 Data Analysis and Visualization 🠶 Compatible with Web – HTTP, HTTPS
🠶 Pluggable Samplers 🠶 Scriptable Samplers
🠶 Compatible with Database via JDBC 🠶 Compatible with Mail – SMTP(S)
🠶 GUI Design and Interface 🠶 Compatible with POP3(S) and IMAP(S)
🠶 Dynamic Input 🠶 Compatible with Message-oriented
🠶 Compatible with SOAP / REST middleware via JMS
How it works?
🠶 Take a look at the following figure that describe how JMeter works,
What we can do with JMeter
🠶 Using command line parameters in JMeter for load testing.
🠶 Database load testing with JMeter
🠶 Load test TCP protocol services with JMeter
🠶 Run a stress test in JMeter
🠶 Performance and load testing with JMeter
🠶 Test SOAP services with JMeter
🠶 Generate Random variables in JMeter
🠶 Apache Kafka load testing using JMeter
🠶 Build a distributed load testing infrastructure with AWS, Docker and JMeter
🠶 Load testing video streaming with JMeter
Installation
🠶 JMeter Environment Setup – Java JDK 1.6 or above required
🠶 Set JAVA_HOME
🠶 Download JMeter - http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi
🠶 Set JMETER_HOME (export PATH=$PATH:$JMETER_HOME/bin)
🠶 Run JMeter via command line or GUI
Thread Group
Thread Group elements are the beginning points of your test plan.
🠶 Set the number of threads
🠶 Set the ramp-up period
🠶 Set the number of times to execute the test
Controller
JMeter has two types of Controllers:
🠶 Samplers
Samplers allow JMeter to send specific types of requests to a server. They
simulate a user request for a page from the target server.
🠶 Logic Controllers
Logic Controllers control the order of processing of Samplers in a Thread.
Logic controllers can change the order of a request coming from any of
their child elements.
Execution Order
🠶 Configuration elements
🠶 Pre-Processors
🠶 Timers
🠶 Sampler
🠶 Post-Processors
🠶 Assertions
🠶 Listeners
Demo - Http Request Demo with Recording
🠶 Configuration of JMeter
🠶 Create Sample project for selected website to check record (HTTP test
script Recorder)
🠶 User Defined Variable.
🠶 Report Generation - Summary report generation
🠶 Summary Report - report visualization on the Dashboard
